National Championship MEGACAST open thread
This is kind of ridiculous, but I'd download and watch every version if Michigan was in this game and won it.
Traditional TV broadcast (ESPN): This is your typical TV broadcast featuring Chris Fowler calling play-by-play, Kirk Herbstreit as the analyst, Heather Cox on the Clemson sideline and Tom Rinaldi on the Alabama sideline.
Traditional radio broadcast (ESPN Radio): This is your typical radio broadcast, featuring Mike Tirico calling play-by-play, Todd Blackledge as the analyst, Holly Rowe on the Alabama sideline and Joe Schad on the Clemson sideline.
Film Room (ESPN2): ESPN analysts Brian Griese and Chris Spielman, along with Florida head coach Jim McElwain and other additional guests, will provide in-depth analysis of the game as it happens from a film room equipped with multiple camera angles, clicker technology and telestration at ESPN’s Bristol, Conn., headquarters.
ESPN Voices (ESPNEWS): ESPN personalities watch the game from Los Angeles in a living room-type atmosphere. Participants include Teddy Atlas, Michelle Beadle, Jay Bilas, Taylor Twellman and Marcellus Wiley. Additional guests could be added.
Homer Telecast (ESPNU): Joe Tessitore will host former Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd and former Alabama center Barrett Jones in the booth, along with other quasi-‘game analysts’ with a decidedly partisan view towards their alma maters.
Finebaum Film Room (SEC Network): Paul Finebaum, Greg McElroy, Booger McFarland and Bret Bielema watch the game and provide their instant analysis and reaction while also take live calls throughout the game. Fans can interact by tagging their tweets with #FinebaumFilmRoom.
Sounds of the Game (ESPN Classic): This is ESPN’s game telecast sans commentators and includes full coverage of the pregame on-field entertainment and halftime band performances.
Command Center (ESPN Goal Line): This broadast features a full-time split screen application showing the live game action, immediate replays of every play, isolated camera feeds of both head coaches, enhanced statistics, real time drive charts and the ESPN Radio broadcast.
Spanish-Language Call (ESPN Deportes): Tjis is the Spanis-language broadcast of the game, featuring Lalo Varela, Pablo Viruega, Bernardo Osuna and Carlos Nava..
Mock Replay Booth (ESPN3): Current and former ACC and SEC replay officials take viewers through the full process of reviewing every play from their recreated replay booth set up in Bristol.
Pylon Cam (ESPN3): This broadcast is exactly as it sounds — a continuous stream of the cameras being fed from the eight pylons surrounding the field, both at the goal lines and for the first time from the backlines of the end zones.
Home Town Radio (ESPN3): Each team’s radio announcers will call the game with a customized viewing experience that includes full time isolated shots of head coaches and star players.
Data Center (ESPN3): This broadcast will include significant on-screen graphic content ranging from analytics, real time drive charts, win probability updates, curated social media reaction and more.
Spider Cam (ESPN3): This will be a continuous feed of the “spider cam” that maneuvers above the field of play.
Taco Bell Student Section (ESPN3): Cameras in the Taco Bell student sections — focusing on students, bands, mascots (LOL) and cheerleaders of each team — will focus on how the most enthusiastic fans in the building are reacting with every play.

I don't get it.
Why wouldn't you just call it by the name of the song. And if you didn't know the name...you could've just said "that was awfuL" And none of us would've been confused.
...or maybe that was your point! You're an f-ing genius!
January 11th, 2016 at 8:26 PM ^
Hm. OK, boss.

lol you don't just get to use them and be wrong.
What you said literally didn't make sense. With or without quotes.
But I'm not upset over it like others...just saying, you're doing it wrong.

I'm not at a bar in a foreign place....so espn is carrying it?
January 11th, 2016 at 8:24 PM ^
Okay just kick the damn ball off.
This is why I said it should be an 8:07 kick or something...you literally save 20 minutes on the game. That's a huge difference on the back end between people on the east coast going to bed because the 4th quarter has just started or rallying and fighting to watch the last 5 minutes of the game.
January 11th, 2016 at 8:24 PM ^
Really don't like either of these teams, but please Clemson, pull this off.
January 11th, 2016 at 8:25 PM ^
January 11th, 2016 at 9:16 PM ^
don't even know why, just want them to win. go tigers.

the game is about to start, I can't handle anymore talking heads.

Remember when they just had a flag hanging in the rafters and we'd all turn and look at it, instead of having a full on military parade?

Is this a football game or Cinderella On Ice?

Good news: she's not lipsyncing, because unless the studio autotune didn't work, no one sings that flat on a prerecording.
They could have at least paid for real musicians and not a guy on a synth, though.

'DON'T FLINCH!"

I know this is a broken record, but there are a TON of dudes making a lot of money off the college kids who are going to be playing this game basically for free. I mean, they are playing this game in a stadium named after a for-profit online college.
January 11th, 2016 at 8:34 PM ^
No, I was not aware people make money off of college athletics.
And if these kids don't want to play for a National Championship on what could be the biggest night of their lives because of it, well, that's their choice. But I don't see any of them making it.
January 11th, 2016 at 8:37 PM ^
I figured somebody would bring along the straw man.
January 11th, 2016 at 8:40 PM ^
I'm not the one rolling in to state the absolute obvious as if, 1. if we weren't aware, and 2. it matters tonight.
January 11th, 2016 at 9:05 PM ^
Like I said, I know it's obvious. Doesn't make it less relevant when AT&T is shilling for the bowl game and ESPN is running multiple channels for the game.
But yeah, you win. I'm sure you'll be open to a thoughtful discussion on this topic in a week.
